Written by veteran journalists, this is the inside story of how President Bush took the nation to war using faulty and fraudulent
intelligence. It takes us behind the scenes at the Bush White House, the CIA, the Pentagon, the State Department, and Congress
to answer all the vital questions about how the Bush administration came to invade Iraq. Filled with new revelations, Hubris
is a narrative of intrigue that connects the dots between George W. Bush's expletive-laden outbursts at Saddam Hussein, the
bitter battles between the CIA and the White House, the fights within the intelligence community over Saddam's weapons of
mass destruction, the startling influence of an obscure academic on top government officials, the real reason Valerie Plame
was outed, and a top reporter's ties to wily Iraqi exiles trying to start a war.--From publisher description

The dramatic tale of a pivotal period in the Obama presidency, from the game-changing 2010 midterm elections to the beginning
of the critical 2012 campaign season--a tumultuous time that tested the president as never before and set the stage for a
titanic clash over the future of the nation. After Barack Obama's first two years as president--during which he navigated
the United States through its severest economic crisis since the Great Depression while managing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq--he
was faced with a bitterly divided nation and an emboldened political opposition dedicated to impeding his presidency. What
followed was a year of political crises and fierce battles that would transform Obama and profoundly shape the terrain for
the next election. Here, political journalist David Corn chronicles and examines this crucial time in the Obama presidency
and its impact on the nation's future.--From publisher description

Sir Alistair Horne has been a close observer of war and history for more than fifty years. In this wise and masterly work,
he revisits six battles that changed the course of the twentieth century to reveal the one trait that links them all: hubris.
In Greek tragedy, hubris is excessive human pride that challenges the gods and ultimately leads to the total destruction of
the offender. From the Battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, to Hitler's 1941 bid to capture Moscow, to MacArthur's
disastrous advance in Korea, to the French surrender at Dien Bien Phu, Horne shows how each of these battles was won or lost
due to excessive hubris on one side or the other. In a sweeping narrative written with his trademark erudition and wit, Horne
provides a meticulously detailed analysis of the ground maneuvers employed by the opposing armies in each battle, and examines
the strategies, leadership, preparation, and geopolitical goals of aggressors and defenders to show how devastating combinations
of human ambition and arrogance led to overreach. Making clear the danger of hubris in warfare, his insights hold resonant
lessons for civilian and military leaders navigating today's complex global landscape. This dramatic, stylishly written history
is a much-needed reflection on war from a master of his field.--Adapted from book jacket

The veteran political journalist and New York Times bestselling author goes behind the scenes at the White House to recount
the dramatic tale of a pivotal period in the Obama presidency, from the game-changing 2010 midterm elections to the beginning
of the critical 2012 campaign season-a tumultuous time that tested the president as never before and set the stage for a titanic
clash over the future of the nation After Barack Obama's first two years as president-during which he navigated the United
States through its severest economic crisis since the Great Depression while managing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq-he was
faced with a bitterly divided nation and an emboldened political opposition dedicated to impeding his presidency. What followed
was a year of political crises and fierce battles that would transform Obama and profoundly shape the terrain for the next
election. In Showdown, astute political journalist David Corn chronicles and examines this crucial time in the Obama presidency
and its impact on the nation's future. Drawing on interviews with White House officials, Obama's inner circle, members of
Congress, and others, Corn takes the reader into the Oval Office and the back rooms on Capitol Hill for a fast-paced and gripping
account of the major events as they unfolded: the controversial tax-cut deal with Congress in December 2010; the repeal of
Don't Ask/Don't Tell; the passage of the New START treaty; the near shutdown of the government in early 2011; the revolutionary
Arab spring; the killing of Osama bin Laden; the intense, high-wire debt-ceiling negotiations (in which intransigent House
Republicans risked the nation's financial standing); House Speaker John Boehner's erratic maneuvers during the rise and fall
of the grand bargain; and the face-off between Obama and congressional Republicans over how best to create jobs. Corn captures
the dilemmas faced by a president assailed by disappointed progressives and defiantly obstructionist Republicans determined
to see his defeat. Here is a chief executive trying to balance the cross-cutting demands of governance and politics while
handling unending challenges at home and abroad. The book reveals a thoughtful leader with a cool head who is unafraid to
take risks and make tough choices, a steely battler who successfully turned his enemies' obstinacy to his advantage. Obama
has often frustrated supporters, but Corn shows how the president, who often puts pragmatism ahead of partisan demands, has
craftily operated within a hostile conservative political climate, looking to win the long game, achieve progressive goals,
and, ultimately, win reelection. A vivid and powerful account of White House decision-making, Showdown offers a unique and
enlightening look at the turbulent American political scene during one of the most consequential moments of the nation's history,
and explains the fascinating and complicated leader at the heart of this vortex
